Sometimes my friends and I will have debates about what we consider a sport. Golf? Yes. Ice skating? No. NASCAR? Split among party lines. But how about jump roping?

Well, someone apparently thinks so, which is why Duane Adler, who co-wrote STEP UP and SAVE THE LAST DANCE is now working on JUMP AROUND, which is exactly what you think it is. The film will follow the world of hardcore double-dutch jump roping which apparently exists, proving this story isn’t something I pulled from The Onion.

Apparently, jump roping has been recognized in New York as an actual sport earlier this year, and this news of a feature film adaptation makes me think that I may one day see my dream of a freeze tag movie realized.

Here’s the kind of wicked action you have to look forward to:

Enough of this steping, dancing,stomping,rapping street battle bull shit! Thought ever occur to these dipshits that can't make a living doing that crap. 10 years from now or less 2 or 3 they'll be in line at the soup kitchen battling for a juice box and a pack o twinkies.

Wow! As if we didn't think watching "hard ass fools" dancing and scowling at each other wasn't ridiculous enough we now get to see them doing it while jump roping.



You just got served!!! Patty cake bitches!!!

On the one hand the stuff they're doing in that video is undeniably impressive but on the other hand the idea of a "hardcore jump rope" film where the characters are undoubtedly "from the streets" and undoubtedly have to go up against the "evil jump rope team from da hood" sounds undeniably terrible.

"Jump In!" in the Disney channel was bad enough.

I would be more interested if they did this movie in the tone of "Dodgeball" and not like "Step Up". Is it weird that I see Daniel Day Lewis as the lead in this thing? "I JUMP YOUR ROAP!!".
